A member asked:

I have been off the contraception pill now for 5 months and i am not pregnant yet is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be: It is considered normal to take 6 months to get pregnant with trying to get pregnant. So having been on birth control and then coming off birth control and trying to get pregnant can take even longer than 6 months.
